Acquired phototrophy through retention of functional chloroplasts increases growth efficiency of the sea slug Elysia viridis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Photosynthesis is a fundamental process sustaining heterotrophic organisms at all trophic levels. Some mixotrophs can retain functional chloroplasts from food (kleptoplasty), and it is hypothesized that carbon acquired through kleptoplasty may enhance ...

Photoprotective Non-photochemical Quenching Does Not Prevent Kleptoplasts From Net Photoinactivation
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 The enigmatic association of photosynthetically active chloroplasts from algae and some sacoglossan sea slugs, called functional kleptoplasty, is a functional unique system of photosymbioses observed in metazoans.

On Being the Right Size as an Animal with Plastids
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Plastids typically reside in plant or algal cells—with one notable exception. There is one group of multicellular animals, sea slugs in the order Sacoglossa, members of which feed on siphonaceous algae.

Observation records of heterobranch sea slugs in southeastern Osaka Bay(2015-2022) [PDF]
2015年から2022年にかけて，大阪湾南東部沿岸4地点でウミウシ類(オオシイノミガイ目，マメ ウラシマ目，フシエラガイ目，裸鰓目，ヒトエガイ目，頭楯目，アメフラシ目，翼足目，スナウミウ シ目，嚢舌上目)を対象とした観察会を実施した.観察会は季節を問わず計53回実施し，参加者数は のべ1,729名であった.また，観察されたウミウシ類は計 30科109種であった.本稿では観察会ごとの 出現種とその個体数について報告を行い，地点ごとのウミウシ相の特徴について議論する.Field day trips ...
